  • Richard: (age 35-50) Jenny’s husband, a struggling or modestly paid man, facing a moral dilemma.
  • Mrs. Toothe: (age 50-70) A menacing, aristocratic, and fascinating madam who introduces Jenny to exclusive suburban sex work.
  • Roger: Jenny and Richard's 14-year-old (or is it 12?) son, whose innocent presence sharpens the irony and horror of his parents' compromised values. 
  • Jack: (age 45-60) A cynical bachelor neighbor who acts as a social observer and occasional foil within the community. 
  • Neighbors (Chuck, Louise, Gilbert, Cynthia, Perry, Bery): (ages 30-60) The various hypocritical suburbanites who initially appear obsessed with country-club conformity and "keeping up with the Joneses," only for it to be revealed that nearly all the neighborhood wives are engaged in the same secret arrangement.
